There is a problem with the 8.1.6 start up script.
Enterprise Edition Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The workaround is to change the dbstart script to look for the string
"Oracle8i Enterprise Edition" instead of "PL/SQL" by making the following
changes:

1. Save a copy of the 8.1.6 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart script

2. Edit the script and change the 'awk' lines
from:
VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
/PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;
print substr($3,1,3)}'`
to:
VERSION=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl command=exit | awk '
/PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }
/Oracle7 Server (Release|Version)/ { print substr($4,1,3); exit }
/Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (Release|Version)/ { print substr($5,1,3); exit }
/Oracle8i (Release|Version)/ { print substr($3,1,3); exit }'`

Additionally for platforms which set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the dbstart
script you should change the following:
From:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/lib ;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
To:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. Copy the updated "dbstart" to any location it is expected to reside.
Eg: system startup scripts often run /usr/local/bin/dbstart.

IMPORTANT: Do not overwrite existing scripts without taking a backup
copy first as the script you are overwriting may have
been modified.

NOTE: This workaround will only work for Oracle8 Enterprise Editions
Similar workarounds may be used for other editions.
